Replace %20 [spaces] with underscore [_]

Hi everybody,

For the past 3 days i've been looking for an apache tutorial where i
could learn how to change the blank spaces [%20] from a url and change
it for an underscore [ _ ] just like in wikipedia, and unfortunately
i've found nothing, maybe i'm trying with a tool [mod_rewrite] that i
shouldn't even consider for this.

Let me explain you with an example.

If you type in your browser:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Apache HTTP Server the URL will be rewritten to
http://en.wikipedia.org/Apache_HTTP_Server

So far, what my server [Apache 2.0.52] will do is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Apache%20HTTP%20Server

I'm not asking to solve my problem, just some pointers :)

Thank you all
EOZyo

An URL hast to be encoded. This encoding follows rules. It cannot be
changed. When you use blanks in your file names, you have to accept %20 in
the URL. Except when you use a software, that translates those filenames
internally, as nearly every wiki software does.

So is it a external software? no rewrite rules U_U? Thank you Werner,
that makes sense since for 3 days i didn't find a single tutorial
related to this subject.

Thanks man for avoiding me to lose more time :)
